What an irony!


We Indians claim to be highly patriots and this patriotism is at its peak always on the day of the India Pakistan cricket match and not on our Independence day which is mostly treated as a public holiday. The ironical insect bites the young child at school itself where he is taught now in India all castes are equal but well the colleges very well break the poor child’s myth. Parents want their kids to be outstanding but not go out of the box. What’s   passion? They understand profession better. Typical Indian mothers will never whole heartedly accept a foreigner as their daughter in law but yes a proposal for their daughters from a NRI settled abroad is a matter of prestige. How many Indian families today can claim they have asked their sons to help a woman in need and taught him to protect la         

ladies but yes every Indian daughter is taught about dressing and is bounded by timing restrictions. For a change why cant men change their vision in place of women changing their clothing and why not parents in India invest more on their daughters education than her dowry?

 The idols of radha Krishna are worshipped all over the country and their eternal love story narrated yet let us question ourselves which mother would be absolutely cool with their son dating a girl elder to him?  but yes every morning we have to worship the idol but not follow the pure ideologies of the idol so technically our mornings itself begin with an irony and the day has so many more.

Highest ironies in India are in the name of god. Here people worship maa Kali as the powerful godess but the women of their family are suppressed. They pray to godess saraswati for education but well there is no emphasis on educating girls. Here people want godess lakshmi’s blessings in their house but not a female child. 

Irony has become a part of our everyday life almost but till when are we going to keep fooling ourselves with such baseless shit as you cant kiss in public but a man can pee in public, matching zodiacs before marriage is more important and not matching interests, a criminal can seek the blessings of god inside a temple but not a menstruating female, ask yourself who is more impure?

The biggest question here is many like me can sit back write, talk or criticize the society but who is going to stand up for a change? And change here does not mean going to the streets in protest like we do when the price of onions rise but change here means changing our thought processes, broadening them and most importantly changing our hypocritical attitude so that our society does not stand like an irony today but becomes an example for tomorrow.
